From the first versions, it has a big changes and every time it becomes more interesting and diverse in terms of tools and opportunities. Some 3D packages have their own tools for fluid simulations Houdini – Fluid Solver, 3ds max – PhoenixFD plugin, Maya – Bifrost, Cinema4D – RealFlow plugin.īut, unlike them, RealFlow was created directly for this kind of simulation – liquid. And if you also take into account the different scale of the simulations – from drops of dew on the leaf to the giant tsunami, it becomes clear – why it is so difficult to create such things in CG. And we have a deal with density, viscosity, pressure and even surface tension. The liquid has a number of properties that are not presented in other systems. The simulation process has a large number of features. If you have a specific question you can do, I'm avaible for answer thank you for your comment, I hope to find the time for create second part in a feew time.This material is deprecated and discontinued.įluid simulation is a special section of visual effects. I think, when I find time, to create one tutorial with rigidbody and fluid also in english (in Italian langauage is ready and is on-line on the specific italian forum).

I Know the tut you follow now (Decostruction of elements) and it's a good tutorial but I think more effects you can create with Max or Maya without problem.Īnyway. Truee! With Realflow you can create a great effects on splash, fall and all kind of liquid, but the best is on organic or mophing effects. Work and find time for study is very terrible because you came back to work and don't have energy for study (my life is the same with work, personal study, family and university :) ). I'm working my way through Deconstructing the Elements at the moment. Plus, at almost 62 and disabled, I find it's harder for me to learn new stuff than it used to be. I see lots and lots of opportunities for fun in RealFlow, if I can just get the time to learn it. I want to learn it, but I always have work that needs to be done that sucks up the time, you know. I got it, partly for liquids, but actually more to make odd organic shapes to play with.

Quote - Well, I know when I was going through the help files and user's manual that comes with it, Realflow installs something in Max to ensure the mesh comes in right.
